Hey there, readers! 📸 I'm Yeager Tedder, your friendly neighborhood wedding photographer, and the proud owner of Carolina's Photography, LLC. Whether you're a soon-to-be newlywed, a fellow photography enthusiast, or simply someone drawn to capturing heartfelt moments, I'm thrilled to take you BTS (behind the scenes) of Charleston Weddings. Full disclosure even though I photographed their first in 2005, I feel like I'm just now rediscovering the city and falling for it, but enough about me...


Charleston: Where Love Meets Beauty


Let's talk about Charleston... It's more than just a city; it's a canvas of emotions, a haven for lovebirds, and a dreamy destination that tugs at heartstrings. Imagine exchanging vows under the dappled shade of centuries-old oaks or stealing a tender kiss along the iconic Battery promenade, with the shimmering waterfront as your witness.

But here's the real secret: Charleston isn't just a picturesque backdrop; it's a character in its own right. Its cobblestone streets whisper stories of the past, its historic architecture paints a portrait of timeless elegance, and its lush gardens seem to conspire with the wind to create an ambiance of pure enchantment.

It's where I did one of my first still photography weddings. In 2015 I shot my first wedding film in this very city. It's the way the morning sun kisses the Rainbow Row, the laughter that echoes through hidden alleys, and the promise of forever that lingers in the air.


Embracing the Artistry: Capturing Your Love Story


When it comes to capturing your love story, sure I'll handle the technical side of photography. I'm an artist, a storyteller, and a dedicated creator of memories. Every click of the camera is a brushstroke, painting the canvas of your special day with emotions, colors, and the timeless beauty of love.

My journey as a photographer isn't just about snapping pictures; it's about crafting narratives. Each frame holds the promise of reliving your most cherished moments, from the heartfelt exchanges of vows to the joyful tears of your loved ones. Through my lens, I capture the whispers, the laughter, and the fleeting glances that convey more than words ever could.

But what truly ignites my creativity is your story. Your journey is unlike any other, and that's what fuels my passion to create photographs and films that reflect your unique connection. As you navigate the chapters of your love story, I'm here to ensure that every delicate detail, every stolen glance, and every emotion-filled second is beautifully documented for eternity.

Photography and Films: A Harmonious Fusion


Speaking of documentation, let's talk about the magic of merging photography and films. Two sides of the same coin, each complementing the other in the most enchanting way.

Imagine walking down the aisle, your heart racing, your partner waiting at the other end with a smile that says it all. With my wedding photos, I freeze that moment – the anticipation, the excitement, the overwhelming love – into an image that transports you back every time you glance at it.

Now, let's take it a step further. Imagine hearing the quiver in your partner's voice as they exchange vows, feeling the warmth of their touch as they slip the ring onto your finger. With my wedding films, these emotions come alive, your love story unfolding like a cinematic masterpiece.

The fusion of photography and films isn't just about preserving memories; it's about rekindling the emotions, the laughter, and the tears that made your wedding day uniquely yours. It's about capturing the stolen glances, the spontaneous giggles, and the heartfelt embraces that are etched in your hearts forever.


Crafting Moments, Preserving Emotions


What truly sets my work apart is the dedication to capturing moments that matter. Every love story is woven with countless threads of emotion, and my goal is to preserve each one in its purest form.

Here on photo17.com you'll discover stories – stories of love, of hope, of promises exchanged under Charleston's sprawling oaks. It's the glance shared before the "I do," the laughter that echoes through historic streets, and the tears that crystallize your joy.

Candid moments hold a magic of their own. Those unscripted instances of tenderness, those bursts of uncontainable laughter – they're the heartbeats of your wedding day. And as your Charleston wedding photographer, I pledge to capture these moments, ensuring they're immortalized as a testament to your love story.
